Child sexual abuse (CSA) and exploitation can be difficult to identify in the adolescent as warning signs can easily be mistaken for 'normal' teenage behaviour.
Child sexual exploitation (CSE) is a criminal act that has a devastating impact upon children and young people and long-term consequences on the mental health wellbeing of adults. Over the last couple of years, CSE has had an increasing national profile following significant investigations, which have led to prosecutions.
